Create a specification template

Procedure

1. In your Home view, choose Tools -> Microsoft Office Templates -> Create Specification Template.
2. Select Spec Template from the list of item types, then click Next.
3. Type an item ID and revision ID in the Item ID and Revision ID boxes, or click Assign to automatically assign the IDs.
4. Type a name for the specification template in the Name box. The name must be unique — duplicates are not allowed. It is recommended to use the same name for specification template revisions, as these names appear in the Export to Word dialog box.
5. (Optional) Type a description in the Description box.
6. Click Finish. The Spec Template item, Spec Template Revision item revision, and the associated Full Text dataset are created in the SpecTemplates folder, located in the RequirementsManagement Templates folder in your Home folder.
7. (Optional) To update the specification template content, double-click the Full Text dataset — the template opens in Microsoft Office Word.
8. (Optional) Modify the content as required. You can specify a transfer mode in the specification template to collect additional objects for export.
9. Save the document, and close Microsoft Office Word.
